Set up hardware for CollabNet SourceForge Enterprise 5.1

Set up and install one or more machines to run your site on.

Note: We strongly recommend running the CollabNet SourceForge Enterprise 5.1 application and its database on separate physical servers. Each server should meet the same dual-processor, 2-GHz standard.

CollabNet SourceForge Enterprise 5.1 runs on Red Hat Enterprise Enterprise Linux 5, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.4, CentOS 5.1 and CentOS 4.6. Other Linux versions may work, but have not been tested and are not supported.

For information about the operating systems you can use with CollabNet SourceForge Enterprise 5.1, see Supported software for CollabNet SourceForge Enterprise 5.1.

For best results, we recommend that you run the CollabNet SourceForge Enterprise 5.1 application server on a dedicated system. Your installation may be more complicated if other applications are running on the same machine.

Install the operating system according to the instructions from the OS provider.
1. When the "server" option is presented, select it.
2. When the list of packages is presented, select only the default packages list.
3. Do not install the dev tools. The CollabNet SourceForge Enterprise 5.1 installer supplies all the packages you will need.
Verify that the machine name is resolvable on the network.
1. Use the hostname command to verify the name of the machine.
  - hostname
  - bigbox.supervillain.org
2. Use the nslookup command to verify that your hostname maps to the right IP address.
  - nslookup bigbox.supervillain.org
  - Server: 204.16.107.137
  - Address: 204.16.107.137#53
If this site will have Korean-language users, symlink the fonts/korean directory to the fonts/ko directory.
- ln -s /usr/share/fonts/korean /usr/share/fonts/ko
This bypasses a Java bug that can make Korean characters appear incorrectly.
